FILMINDI A April, I94fi p'aywright, politician and what not, does not dislike the idea provided the movie-makers "shoot" her in such a manner as no: to interfere with her numerous Congressional activities. PRESERVING THEM Villages in England are worried about keeping their young boys at home. To s.op the drift from the land, six remote Essex vi'lages have started a movement, "How to Keep Your Boys At Home". This consists of providing good entertainment in these villages, popular feature films and propaganda shorts at reduced rates, and the sponsors feel that this will stop the boys from drifting away. In our 700,000 villages of India the main problem is how to stop the shrinking stomachs from sinking further. Different countries different problems. DEATH OF MUSIC Khan Saheb Alladiya Khan Wc regret to announce the death of Khan Saheb Alladiya Khan at the age of 94 on Saturday. March, 16th, at 10-45 a m. at his residence at Babulnath. Bombay. Khan Saheb Alladiya Khan was the doyen among Indian musicians and was aptly described as "The Mount Everest of Indian Music" by the Rt. Hon. M. R. Jayakar at the time of the recent Vikram Celebrations in Bombay. It was iaid that a musician of his calibre had not been born in India since the romantic existence of Tansen, one of the nine gems at the court of Emperor Akbar. Many a story of Khan Saheb Alladiya Khan's unique proficiency in the vocal rendering of Indian classical music is told by the music lovers of India but few knew the simple soul who led a hard and honest life with almost ascetic simplicity and devoted over 80 years of his long life to the service of the divine art of music. Among the numerous pupils whom the late Khan Saheb had trained, Sushila Rani was fortunate to get his unique guidance even during the last days cf the great musician. Born in Jaipur in a respectable Muslim family, Khan Saheb Alladiya got his early training as the favourite disciple of Haridas the best known musician of the day. For nights and days the young Alladiya practised music till the whole of India, already a music-mad country, came to realise the existence of a genius who was destined to add to the traditional glories of Indian music.
